Stepped Out

 

 

it use to be my guilty pleasure

Melissa Ethridge and KD Lang

late night TV movies that hinted

occasionally screamed against

the lifestyle my parents preached

by not such good example

my blushing face hidden behind

unkempt hands holding back

that childish giggle of

the surreal possibility that

someone else, like me

then too young to notice

still too young to understand

that i might be in the wrong

and closets are where i could have staid

but naive eyes

don't see boarders

striving always for the truth
